Cantor and Aspinall were a little annoying today.

We saw plenty of replays showing Duffy got the ball, replays they (or someone on their staff) surely had access to, at the very least at half time, yet they continued to insist it should have been a penalty.
Cantor questioning two minutes of added time because "it's 30secs for a sub" No it's not! One time someone used '30secs a goal, 30secs a sub' as a rough guide because he didn't understand where the time came from. It's not a rule or a law. If you take time with a sub, some of it will be added on, along with all that time wasted on throws, free kicks, goal kicks, corner kicks, any injuries, any goal celebrations that go a little long.
Locadia has barely played this year. Lots of subtle comments about him not quite doing enough the sort of comments some will interpret as proof he isn't good enough, Murray comes on hoofs the ball out of play and 'he's a bit rusty, he hasn't played much the past two weeks'.

blimey! anyone see March giving the finger??? did it whilst applauding, was it to fans???? blimey

If he was getting some of the shit directed at players on this thread from the fans in the ground I don’t actually blame him. I’m not a big Solly fan either.

Manc Gary Neville was certain they were pens and mentioned it many times.

Our decision making today was mainly poor again and this needs to improve drastically for next season.

Anyone who MOANS about anything this season needs to have a word with themselves, finishing 15th and being safe with 2 matches to go surpassed anyone's expectations

This. I thought with our weak squad, especially strikers, we'd drop.

A great season's work by CH and his best 11. The club must build on this now ... squad wise.

Who had 40 points in the pool?
Damn few of us, I'd reckon.

A little perspective, Liverpool tonked Manchester City on their way to the Champions League Final.

In addition their next game is against Real Madrid, ours may well be against Fulham...

And doesn't make them right? (Also, shock horror, pundit questions referee decision!) The ref saw that Duffy got the ball and didn't give it, replays showed he got the ball (and the challenge wasn't careless or wreckless) and the ref was right. I'd be very surprised if Dermot Gallagher tomorrow morning on SSN doesn't say it was the right decision by the ref.
